When I began writing FUTURE WEATHER, I wanted to pay tribute to people who overcame great difficulties during childhood. I've always wondered about the mechanics of self-preservation and what it must be like to know you are at such an early age. Are there specific moments when a person's character crystallizes and she is moved to make choices that stand apart from the patterns ingrained in her upbringing?
FUTURE WEATHER chronicles such a turning point in the life of an inquisitive girl named Laduree. Raised in isolation by an unreliable mother, she escapes reality through experiments with plants and trees. Laduree's world is ruptured when, without warning, her mother abandons her.
She lives alone in secret until she is forced to move in with her grandmother, a frustrated VA nurse who has been planning to move to Florida with her long-distance boyfriend.
A coming-of-age story that spans three generations of women, FUTURE WEATHER explores the tensions between motherhood and self-hood, between the future we desire and the world we've inherited.
Okay, now's the time when I make a confession. Sometimes I feel as though my past was lived by another person, and I'm just some ghost occupying his body in the present. I feel this way because I remember so little about my past that I often have to fake knowing what people are talking about (lest they realize I'm not the real Todd Mitchell). I remember faces, usually, but I'm bad at recognizing them. I'm terrible with names. Oddly enough, I always remember movies. So I vaguely remember watching Blue Velvet. But Regalis's class --how on earth did you remember that? (it's shameful, but I have such a hard time remembering any of my teachers). So I scoured your website looking for more clues. I watched the movie trailers and I liked them. I sympathize greatly with your protagonist (I, too, wouldn't go to the moon until the earth is saved). And I'm impressed by your ambition --making a movie! That's pretty damn cool! I also really like the themes you're exploring. The obsession to save the world coupled with an inability to save one's self --that hits home for me. If I were to meet you again in person, I'm sure it would all come back to me and we'd have plenty to talk about (we seem interested in similar things). Damn, I'm clueless. There it is.
